Is there any way to repair the system registry after a new XP Home install? I did a new install and now my Works programs don't work because of the registry. This is OEM installation and I do not have the original restore disks.
 
The reason your programs no longer work is because you did not perform an
upgrade over your previous Windows installation. OEM versions of
Windows XP must be installed on a reformatted drive. Afterward, all
your programs must be reinstalled using the original installation CDs.
